It turned out that a couple ferrite clamp-ons on the usb cable right at
the pi were just what the Dr. ordered, fixed it right up.

82 & kicking gently else I damage my diabetic feet. Because a diabetics
injuries heal so slow, a damaged toe might have to be amputated because
of gangrene. So I take precautions.

In actuality, its all hobby & the cashflow is 99.9999% negative.

I think you would come to the conclusion that I am a messy eater. My work
arena, a 14x24 garage I built virtually single-handedly in 2008, is
filled to over flowing, and in serious need of janitorial work, with
very narrow paths to get around. Air hoses and drop cords on the floor
to trip me up, not to meantion a pile of mahogany seasoning on a rug in
the middle of it all, as I do some woodworking on these same tools. I
like the Green and Green joints for furniture, but I carve them on a
Grizzly G0704 mill I've converted to cnc.
I've not looked at those 2 links, although I do watch youtube and have
figured out that the subscription fees are somehow rendered back to the
videographer. No clue how much they get though.
This guy Frank obviously has a bank account with at least 4 more digits
left of the decimal point than I do, and looks 20 years younger. You
can see what we looked like 13 years ago on the front page of my web
page, url in the sig. I am about 30 lbs lighter now, helps my sugar.

We've managed to skip the infant mortality. :)
